Neuroplasticity
“ The argument for teaching music in schools takes three general forms. The indirect argument posits that music boosts
brain and cognitive function important for learning, which in turn facilitates success in school. The incentive argument
directly ties the benefits of music training to educational outcomes, such as graduation rates. The intangible argument

contends that the deepest benefits of music education, such as lasting friendships, are challenging to quantify. “
Reasoning

“ In a tightly controlled 6 month study, students who received instrumental classes increased their Spatial-Temporal IQ by 46%
compared to those who had general music alone. This type of change is long-term, and enhances performance in both math
and science. The magnitude of the spatial-temporal improvement was classified as long term as it represented an increase in

Our Approach “ Children who play a musical instrument for at least three years outperform children with light music training, not only in tests
of auditory discrimination and finger dexterity, but tests measuring verbal ability (vocabulary and nonverbal reasoning skills) as
“ Results show that intensive music training is associated with improved performance in the core mathematical system for
representing abstract geometry. Controlling for an array of other variables (such as IQ, academic performance, social and
economic factors), it was found that intensively music trained students outperformed students with little or no music training at
detecting geometric properties of visual forms, relating Euclidean distance to numerical magnitude, and using geometric
relationships between forms on a map to locate objects in a larger spatial layout “
Auditory Skills
“ A compilation of research findings from scientists all over the world who used all kinds of research methods. The bottom line
to all these studies: musical training has a profound impact on other skills including speech and language, memory and
attention, and even the ability to convey emotions vocally all because it adds new neural connections. Actively working with an
instrument and musical sounds enhances neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and change. The Northwestern
researchers concluded their findings make a case for including music in school curriculums: “The effect of music training
suggests that, akin to physical exercise and its impact on body fitness, music is a resource that tones the brain for auditory
fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in shaping individual development “
“ The findings show that not only do the brains of musically-trained children have improved memories. After one year the
musically trained children performed better in a memory test that is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy,
verbal memory, visiospatial processing, mathematics and IQ. The Canadian-based researchers reached these conclusions
after measuring changes in brain responses to sounds in children aged between four and six. Over the period of a year they
took four measurements in two groups of children—those taking Suzuki Method instrumental lessons and those taking no
musical training outside general music in school—and found developmental changes over periods as short as four months.
While previous studies have shown that children given instrumental music lessons had greater improvements in IQ scores than
children given drama lessons, this is the first study to identify these effects in brain-based measurements in young children.”
Takako Fujioka, Bernhard Ross, Ryusuke Kakigi, Christo Pantev, and Laurel J. Trainor
“ Musicians are often reported to have enhanced neurophysiological functions, especially in the auditory system. Musical
training is thought to improve nervous system function by focusing attention on meaningful acoustic cues, and these
improvements in auditory processing cascade to language and cognitive skills. Correlational studies have reported musician
enhancements in a variety of populations across the life span. In light of these reports, educators are considering the potential

date, however, no studies have evaluated biological changes following participation in existing, successful music education
Equitable options that include everyone programs.
We used a randomized control design to investigate whether community music participation induces a tangible change in
auditory processing. The community music training was a longstanding and successful program that provides free music
instruction to children from underserved backgrounds who stand at high risk for learning and social problems. Children who
completed 2 years of music training had a stronger neurophysiological distinction of stop consonants, a neural mechanism
linked to reading and language skills. One year of training was insufficient to elicit changes in nervous system function; beyond
1 year, however, greater amounts of instrumental music training were associated with larger gains in neural processing. We

Music brings forward emotions in all human beings and this includes even small children. Both a simple rhythm or melody

asked to recreate music, the associated emotions are able to be released. Young children often have difficulty expressing

outlet for this to occur.
